USMT 4.0

I am having issues with Desktop Shortcuts/icons not migrating. I use WDS for booting WinPE and then MDT for the deployments. The deployments are going very well, no issues there. The issues are with user accounts with lots of shortcuts/icons on their desktops. The first few are migrated and the rest are not. If I apply the /nocompress option to Scanstate, I can see that the desktops are in the migration and if I use the /nocompress on the loadstate the desktops are migrated properly. Am I missing something? It seems that when the data is compressed stuff is being left out. Any ideas? I really need to use the compression as the network stores are small and I have many computers to migrate. I am worried about what else the compress is missing out on.

 

UPDATE: I did the same run through with a physical box and the scanstate is doing its job, its looks like the loadstate is what is not moving the links back. The options I have on the loadstate are: /v:5 /c /lac /nocompress /ue:*\avadmin /ue:%COMPUTERNAME%\*

Anybody have any ideas? I've tried removing filters from the script <ZTIUSERScript.wsf> without a fix. The part that has me stumped is that Scanstate backs up everything it is supposed to but when Loadstate runs it miss lots of stuff. Any help would be appreciated.

is your data still in c:\_smstasksequence\statestore by any chance ?

Yes. And I have tried re-running the loadstate command against it with the same results.

I tried this - created the config.xml file - but I get the same result!! Why is it so hard for it to do a start copy? Is the loadstate following the links? Some of the shortcuts wouldn't be accessible unless you log into the domain. The process logs in as the local administrator. Is there a way to force it to use a user account instead?
